Heart of a Lion Rescue

Cat rescue in Charlotte, NC

We believe that every life is special. Our rescue takes in cats and kittens that are homeless or in high kill shelters within North Carolina. Every cat is placed in foster care where we spend time evaluating their personality and temperament so that we can place each one into the best forever home possible based on their individual needs and the needs of their new family. Cats and kittens needing medical care are promptly treated and every animal in our rescue is spayed or neutered in order to break the cycle of overpopulation. We are also available to offer financial assistance and guidance for those needing help with community cats.
